Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library
What is Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library?
Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library is a worldwide program that works with community partners to provide free books to children from birth to age five. Registered children receive a book every month in the mail – addressed specifically to them. DPIL aims to inspire a love of reading in children by increasing access to books at home and encouraging families to spend time enjoying books together.
The Coralville Public Library, Library Foundation, and Friends of the Library have partnered with The Dollywood Foundation to bring the Imagination Library to the children of Coralville. There is no cost or obligation for Coralville families.
Who is eligible?*
When will my child receive books?
Eight to ten weeks after your registration form is received, books will begin arriving at your home through the U.S. Postal Service. Your child will continue to receive a book each month until they turn 5 or move away from Coralville. The first book they will receive is The Little Engine That Could.
What are my responsibilities?
- Be a legal resident of Coralville.
- Submit the online registration form below, completely filled out by a parent or guardian. (Or fill out a paper registration form at the Coralville Public Library.)
- Notify the Coralville Public Library any time your address changes. Books are mailed to the address listed on the official registration form. If the child’s address changes (within the city of Coralville) you must contact the Coralville Public Library so your child will continue receiving books.
- VERY IMPORTANT: Read with your child.
*Rural Johnson County residents under age 5 are eligible to enroll in person at the Coralville Public Library.
If you would like to help provide free books to Coralville children, give now!
Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library for Coralville children is funded by the Coralville Public Library, Library Foundation, and Friends of the Library.
